A while back I made an experimental tabletop RPG where you're users of a haunted 2000s-era web forum, trying to solve a mystery alongside strangers on the internet, who may or may not be digital ghouls trying to kill you.
It's pretty cool, check it out here: stoneshore.itch.io/forumcrypt

This was my first time using the LUMEN system by @gilarpgs.bsky.social and I had a lot of fun with it. The PCs have a stat called adrenaline which they use for powers. This constantly goes up in combat, but is depleted when you take rests to recuperate, so there's a fun push-and-pull dynamic.

There's of course some SCP Foundation, Resident Evil, etc etc in there too. I wasn't doing anything particularly innovative with the setting, but that's kind of the point. It's a lean, mean game which literally throws you in the deep end and sees what kind of carnage you can come up with.
